Development of Cigarette beetle [Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera :Anobiidae)] on spice plants and wheat flour

In this study, the development of Lasioderma serricorne (F.) (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) was investigated on five different foods (Mentha piperita, Thymus vulgaris, Salvia officinalis, Rosmarinus, officinalis and flour). Trials were carried out at a temperature 28±2°C 70-75% relative humidity. Effects adult longevity egg hatching ratio investigated. As result, all larvae left Rosmarinus plant have not completed their died. The shortest larval time in flour (37.35 days) longest Mentha piperita (62.96 days). Pupal seen (4 days), while vulgaris (4,42 (10,50 had (15,5 When examined, it that vulgarris (5,42 (5,97 rate its highest (92%) lowest (5%). pupae (80,30%) (37.50%). percentages hatched eggs, observed opening thyme with 56.27% 88.89 %.
